[Shotimes] Continued emissions test failure

[Paul L Fisher]

Can we just pull the SPOUT connector to fix the NOX problem? Also, Autozone
sells some crap you put in your tank that makes the car run like crap but
cleans up your emissions just for a situation like this. O2 sensors normally
leave a code. 543 is a code to ignore and  632 means that you didn't switch
the OD switch during the test.

> Hi all,
>
> Kris (93 Ultra Red ATX, 91 White Plus) and I (Hubby) are still screwing
> around with our Wisconsin Emissions Test. Kris ran the 93 through for the
> third time and received another failure! So, here's what we've done so
far:
>
> Test #1: HC; FAIL, CO; PASS, NOx; FAIL.
> Engine running cold - Replaced bad thermostat
>
> Test #2: HC; FAIL, CO; FAIL, NOx; PASS
> Ran codes, replaced DPSE (including small connection hoses) and cleaned
out
> clogged (front) and partially clogged (rear)  EGR passages in intake.
>
> Test #3: HC; PASS, CO; PASS, NOx; FAIL
> Ran codes (after clearing old codes). New codes are 543 - Fuel pump
secondary
> circuit failure, and 632 - O/D switch not changing state.
>
> Kris said she still is getting an intermittent "Check Engine" light. Our
next
> step appears to be replacing both O2 sensors.
>
> Is there anything else we should be looking for? As far as I can tell, the
> current codes shouldn't affect the NOx level. Am I correct in this
> assumption?
>
> Any help will be greatly appreciated! If I get this figured out, I'll love
> all of you, too!
